PREFACE 


The Smith College Museum of Art was begun in 1880 as a 
collection of American paintings. No attempt was made to repre- 
sent, by original works, the art of other times and countries. Casts 
and photographs were the sole resources of the Museum in these 
fields. 

The growth in the number of students electing courses in art, 
and the development of intensive work in various courses, made 
the insufficiency of the original plan increasingly apparent and led 
at length to its modification. The year 1920 marks the beginning 
of a definite policy of expansion, through which the collections 
are gradually coming to respond to the larger need. With three 
or four exceptions al] the original works in the Museum (aside 
from the American paintings) have been acquired since that date. 
These works have been purchased from the Hillyer Art Fund, or 
have been presented by alumne or undergraduates or friends of 


the College. 


ALFRED VANCE CHURCHILL, Director.

PRINTS 


The Print Collection was begun in 1911 by the gift from the under- 
graduate members of the Studio Club and their friends of a fine proof of 
Rembrandt’s ‘““Three Crosses’”’ and has grown steadily by gifts. It now 
numbers over eleven hundred prints—etchings, engravings of all kinds, 
woodcuts, and lithographs, as well as a group of blocks, plates and tools 
of the craft. Of this number over one hundred are Japanese prints. 
The collection is installed in the Print Room on the first floor of the Hillyer 
Art Gallery. <A partial list of the more notable prints follows:

CERAMICS AND GLASS 


The Ceramic Collection was 
begun by a gift from Dr. Frank W. 
Gunsaulus, in 1912, of one hun- 
dred pieces of American and English 
china, earthenware and glass, illus- 
trating the more usual types pro- 
duced between 1770and 1830. Later 
gifts from Dr. Gunsaulus and others 
have enriched this field. The collec- 
tion now numbers 400 specimens. It 
is possible at present to study types 
of form and decoration in pottery 
from prehistoric Egypt down to our 
modern American Indian product, 
including some Greek types. The 
Oriental group includes Chinese, 





Japanese, and Persian specimens and ATTIC GREEK 
ranges from the Han period (Chi- VI CENTURY B. C. 
nese) to XIX century Japanese BLACK-FIGURED AMPHORA 


pottery, stoneware, and porcelain. 

Of glass we have examples of the classic period, and of Bristol, Bohemian, 
Venetian, and American manufacture. A partial list of objects in the 
collection follows:

The collection of Textiles consists of some two hundred specimens 
of wool, linen, cotton, and silk fabrics, ranging in age from Coptic pieces 
to modern fabrics. ‘The collection is kept in a special case and the smaller 
specimens are mounted on light screens. ‘The recent gift from the estate 
of Mrs. Charlotte Hillyer includes rugs and vestments. As is the case 
with all the secondary collections in the Museum, the textile collection 
has grown largely through gifts. 


The collection includes two copes, one Italian silk brocade of the 
XVIII century, the gift of Frank Atwill Newlin in memory of his mother, 
Mrs. Isaac Chapman Bates, and the other a French silk damask of the 
XVill century. Other specimens are a group of Persian brocades of the 
XV and XVI centuries, and a few Coptic pieces from the VIII to the X 
centuries.
